> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Forgetting, of course, that white man demographically replaced the brown man some years back. I think the problem Repubs have with minorities is that they are afraid that the minorities will do them what THEY did to the minorities. I very much doubt they have that kind of introspection. Or any knowledge of history. Or frankly give a shit about their hypocrisy (they clearly don’t see it, or don’t care). ---

To be fair, as a liberal of the free to be you and me generation who was taught that everyone is pretty much the same deep inside, the revelation over the past year that 20-30% of European-Americans either think that I’m literally a Satanic child murderer or wholeheartedly support the violent overthrow of the government doesn’t exactly _raise_ my gut feelings about the _rest_ of humanity either. ---

Evil, yes. But I think it’s the general stupidity that will ensure that Republicans will continue to lose the two youngest generations’ votes by 25-30 points. Stupidity is not cool. On the “fear of being mistreated the way minorities were mistreated” point , I recently stumbled across a Limbaugh transcript from 2012 that said exactly that. Only Rush (still dead!) phrased it: “Be afraid that you’re going to be treated the way they’ve always CLAIMED they were treated.” Funny that. ---

I’m sure that ex-officer Chauvin considered it at least a microaggression. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > 66% of Republican voters believe that “violence against the police” is a more serious issue than violence against Black Americans. Put their money where their mouth is. Remember that insurgency when white Trump supporters tried to take over the Capital and 140 offices where injured and one killed? I guess they forgot about that. ---

I’m sure that most of the Trumpists don’t consider the capitol police to be real cops. Real cops would have joined the protesters and busted some liberal heads. ---

All Trumpists know that the folks who attended the Trump rally were different people from the Antifa leftist bad guys who attacked the capitol and killed those wonderful patriotic R-voting policemen. Every bit of media they consider “trustworthy” they’ve seen on or since Jan 6 has told them that. It _is_ the truth insofar as they know.
